Shortbread
Traditional shortbread - contributed by Rebecca A. C. Smith
  • 3/4 cup margarine
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 cups flour
Cream butter and sugar. Mix in flour. Chill dough for 1 hour. Roll out to 1/2" thick & cut with round cookie cutter about 2 1/2" in diameter. I also use a decorative cookie stamp on them. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet for 15 minutes at 350° F. Yield: 4 1/2 dozen cookies.
